My Universal Triangle Tarot Spread

Digital Citizen Leave a comment

I reconnected with my Tarot cards over the holidays, and finally came up with my own original spread, the Universal Triangle spread, that is versatile, and not overly complicated or simple. When I use it for myself, of course, it will also be more meaningful since it’s not some existing spread I used that may not suit my reading style in every way, and doesn’t have that personal touch as my own spread.

The spread is explained below, with an example of how I used it in a reading regarding what I can expect for health in 2024. The reading TikTok is also my most challenging done to date as I work to get a new set of skills in video editing that I have long wanted but lacked the proper platform to learn it in a fun, challenging, and affordable way. With this Universal Triangle spread that I will work to master, Tarot card reading just got a lot more interesting and fun again!

Canada’s Most Comprehensive, Interactive Public Health Report Card (CCHS 2015-16 Combined)

Digital Citizen Leave a comment

I just added a Tableau Public set of dashboards showing combined 2015 and 2016 year results for the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), which allowed for comparisons and rate calculations at geographies smaller than provincial and territorial levels. These included Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) and health areas (units, zones, districts, etc.), as well as combined large, medium and small population centres, and rural areas, within a province or territory. The roughly 680 thousand rows of data, including calculations of statistical significance in differences done by Statistics Canada, allowed for some amazing comparisons… and eye opening results! There currently is nothing else quite like this published by anybody to show CCHS results!

I could not embed the dashboards here because WordPress does not allow for JavaScript. However, you can see the dashboards with explanations here.

Click on the following link if you just want to use the dashboards directly, without explanations.

And click on the following link if you want the latest version of CCHS results, 2016, but without geographies below the provincial level.

Canada’s Most Up to Date, Interactive Public Health Report Card (CCHS 2016, 2015)

I recently updated my 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Tableau dashboards which showed results in an interactive report card format, with 2016 data. WordPress does not allow JavaScript usage for me to embed those report cards, to explain how they worked and what information you could gather from them far faster, and more effectively, than just from data tables. However, I was able to do it on another site through the link below.

If you view it and have any questions or feedback, please leave them there so the discussions can be in one place as much as possible.

The combined year results, with much more granular geographic results, will be explained soon, but are already posted here if you want to look ahead of time. Thank you.

This post is optional supporting material for users of the Free Advanced Finances Tracking and Analysis Spreadsheet I have for free downloading on this site. However, it should be useful for anyone who wants to think a bit more about their personal expenditures to get a new perspective on it.
